Parts Beauties,
Anlericl

In the Prussian Chamber of Depu-
ties Herr Won Ziedemann made the
horrifying statement that in Posen he
had met with a <burgomaster who was
quite unable to remember when he
had washed himself last. But it is a
well-known fact that a considerable
number of Partisan ladies, admired for
their beauty, never wash themselves ut
all. Face, neck, and shoulders are
carefully wiped every morning with a
dry towel, and then rubbed with fine
ointment; they then appear in all the
freshness of youth, with tints varying
from dazzling white to deep pink.
Only once year generally in autumn
the complexion begins to show cracks
aud wrinkles; then the beautiful lady
disappears for n season. All visitors
are refused admission; madam is in
disposed. A fortnight later she
emerges like chrysalis,, as beautiful
as ever. She has undergone trans
formation, kind of moulting process,
which is kept close secret from every
body except her, husband, who has to
pay for it to the tune of 1000 francs.
Her far-famed beauty is the work OF
the enailleuse, o parsonage quite ia
miliar to English readers who are old
enough to remember the case of Nine.
Rachel. I know several ladies who,
twenty-five or thirty years ago, were
distinguished for their beauty at the
Court of the late Emperor, and whose
youthful appearance is to-day the OBJ,
ject of universal admiration. OF course
this artificial crust effectually prevents
any facial expression of the lady's feel
ings; she can only. smile family with
her lips, she is incapable OF blushing,
and remains cold and impassive like a
statue.-TOsSiche ZeitaIng.

CRATE SO harshly on their ears, because
many Of them are not afraid to de-

therefor combines with -healthful, out
of-door exercise, delightful companion
ship, the pleasure of travel amidst
charming rural scenery, and gratifca-
tion cf the senses through exhilaration
the sport has come to stay, Carriage
riding does not accomplish this, for
there is no physical exercise; walking
does not approach it, because only GER
tain muscles are used, and the fatigue
from supporting the weight of the
body is often severe. In cycling a
different set of muscles are employed; {;
the muscles ofthe neck, shoulders, arms,
chest, back, and limbs are brought into
play and in such manner that the strain
is equalized, and, in measure, dis
tributed over the whole body. AS to
the difficulties of learning to ride, they
exist chiefly in the imagination. Half
an hours practice will accustom the
feet to the rotary motion ofthe pedals
after that it is only matter of devel-
opment of the muscles by everyday
use in riding such distances as the
rider can accomplish without strain.
Nature will do the rest, and in time O

easily be accomplished. Daughters Of

ORIGIN OE UI'dU.v

Max Duncker, quoting Herodotus.
who visited Egypt about the middle of
the fifth century, B. c., says that as
the ancient and magnificent city of
Memphis worshiped the god Ptah,
the Egyptians worshiped five. Their
inscriptions named Ptah, "The Lord of
Truth, "The Father of TRUTH" "The
Ruler of the Sky" The King of tho
Worlds" "The Father of the Father
of the Gods" On a pillar in Mem
phis, now in the Berlin museum, be-
longing to the time of the nineteenth
dynasty, he is called "The only Unbe-
gotten Begetter in the Heaven and on
the Earth, "The God who Made Him
self to be God, who Exists by Himself,
the Double Being, the Begottcn of the
First Beginning" Other inscriptions
and records denote him as "The Creator
of Heaven and of Earth, who Has
Made all Things, the Lord of all That
Is, and Is Not" Thus Ptah, the sun
god, the god Of fire, was one of the
forms under which the Egyptions
evoked and worshiped the Creator,
tho true God. It is strange that
this word taw or Ptah, should come to
us with SO much significance and enter
so early and so prominently into our
amusements. Where is the school-boy
who ever played game of marbles
who did not reverence his "taw." It is
the most beautiful agate of all his
wealth. 1t rolls in the sunshine, flash
ing like dew drop. 1t carries victory
and spoils in its movement. When
challenged to play by his schoolmate
he searches every pocket for the i'm
portant "taw." 1t is carved and en-
graved with the hieroglyphics of his
own genius, whose meaning is only in
telligible to himself. When defeat
overtakes him and all is lost he retains
the talisman, his "taw," sole companion
of his poverty, to nerve and encourage
him to again renew the struggle. When
he loses his "taw" all is lost, indeed.
The scbool-boy's "taw" carry with it
many bright places into the realities of
life that are delightful memories.

Rcscrre Your Scrues.


Although we know there are many
women who do work entirely alone, it
is very hard indeed for one woman to
take down bedsteads and shake carpets
and move heavy furniture, not to speak
Of taking down and moving stoves; yet
have known women to do all this and
more, but to some it would be physi.
cally impossible, and many who do it
ought not to do it. They may suffer
all the latter part of their lives from
abuse of the inexhaustible energy which
leads them to overtax themselves. To
women so situated and SO constituted, /

will not, perhaps cannot, follow. Cul-
tivate wholesale habit Of negligence.
1t is better the stove remain up all

Not that housework, scrubbing,
cleaning, even beyond what is looked
upon as a woman's limit, is hurtful. il
not carried beyond your strength, if
you can trust yourself to cease when
you are really and heartily tired, when
rest is refreshment; but too many wo-
men work just to finish this or that,
long after fatigue has set in. Their
bodies may not feel much more tired
than they were an hour or two earlier,
but instead of'cheerful physical fatigue,
when it is real comfort to sit down and
rest, and laugh, and talk, perhaps, and
read something pleasant; instead OF this
good feeling has come nervous fatigue
very different matter; the least word
irritates us, and when we finally cease
it is not to rest with cheerful talk o,
reading, and delicious sense OF worl
done and repose earned, but we sinh

swamped. had never been at sea in
a storm before, and kept the deck as
much as possible to view the conflict of
the elements. The waves seemed to
have gigantic teeth as they reared up
out of the darkness and then swooped
down upon the vessel. The lightning
lent its fretful, baleful glare to add ter

the chain of electric fluid flashed like a
livid serpent for IN instant, and n
deckhand fell by my side. I assisted
in carrying him below. He had only
received q severe shock. Upon his

Ambrose Smith, of Big Spring, had
an untamed broncho that he wanted to
have broken as Il saddle horse. He
offered n couple of vaqueros $500 if
they, or either of them would ride
him. The Vaqueros looked at
the animal, but thought riding him
would be too much risk of neck for that
amount of money, and declined. Soon
two squaws came along, and stopped to
look at the horse. Mr.. Smith, in his
spirit OF fun, told them he would give
them $3.50 if they would ride the
horse. They at once accepted the
offer. The animal was caught and
haltered and the squaws led him away
some distance from the house. Soon
after one of them went 10 Mr.. Smith
and asked for saddle. No such thing
had ever been on the back of the horse,
but he let them have it. Not long af-
terward he looked out and, to his aston
ishment, saw both squaws on the back
of the lroncho and the animal going
along quite gently. The sluaws beat
